Well, there's the subject of this thread, which is "new way of writing
defconfigs for freescale's powerpc platforms".

No, I'm just trying to figure out what's powerpc-specific about Lijun's
proposal.

Ok, so I'm definitely confused now. I have no idea what's actually
being proposed, since apparently the ability to have merge configs
already exists.
Wouldn't it just be simpler to pass multiple defconfigs to 'make', and
then 'make' will know to call merge_config.sh on them? So instead of
make ./scripts/kconfig/merge_config.sh
arch/powerpc/configs/fsl_basic_config p1_defconfig
make
we can just do
make fsl_basic_config p1_defconfig
make
